Steelers T Alejandro Villanueva Excused From Rookie Minicamp

If you are like me, you were hoping to hear some positive news this weekend about Pittsburgh Steelers tackle Alejandro Villanueva during the annual rookie minicamp, but according to reports, the former Army captain was excused for the session so that he could get married.

Villanueva, who was signed last year to the Steelers practice squad after he was released by the Philadelphia Eagles during their final round of roster cuts, spent the entire 2014 season on the team’s practice squad.
